Both browsers are cheap and will block most ads. I've used Atomic for the past several years as my primary browser on my iPhone 4 and 5s, iPad 3, and iPad Mini retina, and it has worked very well on all. The browser is very configurable and makes much better use of small real estate than Safari. It's very rare that Atomic has let me down or that I have to fall back to using Safari or Chrome (maybe twice a year?).
I've used Mercury less than Atomic, but only because Atomic has worked well. The little I have used Mercury, I've had no complaints.
Alas there's precious little company support or user community for Atomic. If Mercury turns out to be better for this, I might be willing to switch.

That's great to know. On my iPads I'd love to suppress the mobile versions of all sites.
And spoofing the agent string to pretend you're a bot can be an efective way to access paywalled sites.
But of course I'd never do that...
